Automatic Polyp Detection Using Microwave Endoscopy for Colorectal Cancer Prevention and Early Detection: Phantom Validation

A system to integrate microwave imaging with optical colonoscopy is presented. The overarching goal is to improve the prevention and early diagnosis of one of the main health and economic burdens of an increasingly aging population, i.e., colorectal cancer. For a colonoscopy, the gold standard for c...

description A system to integrate microwave imaging with optical colonoscopy is presented.
